This is a must have book for anyone serving on a church board of directors! So many boards think it is an honorary position, and don't take a stand for what the "law" is...that it sets them up for liability! So many churches don't have liability insurance because they know nothing of it! So many churches bandy about this idea..."Well we can't do that, we will lose our Non-Profit atatus"...but instead do something really agregious! If they read the rules for doing projects beforehand...they would have no problems working within the law!

This is a must have book for anyone working in the tax field representing Churches. Enrolled Agents, CPA's, attorneys all need the basics of the law of Religious Organizations. It isn't the same as other non-profits!

I want to thank the authors for finally putting together a book that is easy to read, easy to understand and easy to quote! And it is inexpensive enough to provide copies for all board members!

For those Pastors who feel like they are the Prime law, this is a must have referene! If they read this book, they will know, there are other laws in which they must abide first to fulfil their fiduciary responsibility!

This book enlightens board members to the fact that they are not made complete with rubber stamps attached to their hands. It is their function to make sure the organization is working in accordance with the Federal, State and local laws. They must also abide by Articles of Incorporation and bylaws duly voted on by the Members and kept current!

A church is not a social club! It is a business, and must be run in a businesslike manner! It must answer to a higher law! IRS, State and local!
